Long is being used here as an adverb of an apposition. On the move, Temporal Adverbs are often stripped down to a minimum. And this term “long” means “for a long time”. I’m not so impressed with ‘-ly’ adverbial roots. What are some examples? The main verb tells that Alviso is becoming but it does not say that it’s becoming affordable. The apposition or sopositive phrase tells that Alviso is or was affordable…, and the adverbial in that adverb tells that it was affordable for a

long time.

Are words that appear in an adverb as adverbs? “Yesterday” is a temporal noun, so it can appear adverbial (although it is actually the referent of an elided “”). ‘Nevertheless’ is related to ‘However’ and is an adverb, but many people are tempted to punctuate it like conjunctions (cf. ‘but’). Conjunction clauses are adverbial, but they are dependent clauses.

yesterday, I was hungry, but I didn’t eat, what?

I am very hungry. How do I get rid of it? I did not eat.

Overly literal would be ‘pedantic’.
